Quixote redirect issues

I'm trying to learn how to set up my own Quixote applications. I've 
gotten the demo working, and it works just fine (using mod_python). 
However, when I try to set up my own (very minimal) application, using 
the demo as a starting point, I get redirect issues. Here's what I have 
in my __init__.py:

from quixote import enable_ptl
from quixote.publish import Publisher
enable_ptl()

def create_publisher():
     from quotes.index import QuotesDir
     return Publisher(QuotesDir(), display_exceptions='plain')

And in index.ptl:
from quixote.directory import Directory

class QuotesDir(Directory):
     _q_exports = [""]
     def _q_index [html] (self):
             """
             <html>
             <head>
             <title>Test Page</title>
             </head>
             <body>
             <h1>Testing</h1>
             </body>
             </html>
             """

The best clue I have is that in the Apache access log, it shows a 
looping redirect:

192.168.0.49 - - [29/Sep/2005:09:17:57 -0500] "GET /quotes/ HTTP/1.1" 
301 74 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.10) 
Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6"

192.168.0.49 - - [29/Sep/2005:09:17:57 -0500] "GET /quotes// HTTP/1.1" 
301 75 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.10) 
Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6"

192.168.0.49 - - [29/Sep/2005:09:17:57 -0500] "GET /quotes/// HTTP/1.1" 
301 76 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.10) 
Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6"

I'm fairly sure it has to do with the way _q_traverse() is implemented 
in the Directory class, but I'm having trouble figuring out what's going 
on - any pointers would be appreciated.

TIA,
